So sorry about your wrist injury, it is better not to run with any injuries.

If you have graduated from C25K congratulations

To get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE 🎓 next to your username leave a message on the May graduate post in the pinned posts on the right side of the healthunlocked C25K home page and tell the administrators that you have ran W9R3 of C25K and graduated 🎓 🏃🏾

Congratulations on your graduation, fellow runner.

Can't help with the wrist.

In the long term it might be wiser to get the wrist fully recovered and then pick up the running again.You won't lose much condition in four weeks.

Keep running, keep smiling

Thank you. I am so frustrated but you are probably right

I’m really sorry to hear that. I had a broken wrist & was advised not to run / cycle- too much jostling & vibration. - I know it is frustrating, but you will soon be running again.

There is plenty you can do meantime- leg strength exercises (maybe hold the back of a chair for anything involving balance), Pilates or yoga modified to accommodate your wrist & brisk walking.

Heal well! 😄
